CHORUS
In the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle
Dem chopping down OUR role models
In the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle
Dem a cutting down OUR role models
Cause every single time we make a stance now yeah arrh!
They always try their very best to catch us with our pants down woe
Want to smear our name
And denounce our fame
It's a crying shame
Hatred still remains
I'm charging dem rascals for libel and slander oh!
CHORUS
Check your plots and schemes in your game shows
To turn our heroes into zero's
Know your tricks and deeds
Want to kill the seeds
That we plant and grow
Why you stoop so low
I'm charging them rascals for libel and slander oh!
CHORUS
DJ RAP........
Listen to the thing that I'm about to confess
I hate and I despise and I deplore and detest
The tabloids and newspapers better known as the press
And so much propaganda that it leads to distress
Magic Johnson, Micheal Jordan, boom your the best
Advice to Micheal jackson keep your cards to your chest
Mr Iron Mike Tyson always under arrest
And vote fi Jesse Jackson him a next president
The plight of OJ Simpson caused a civil unrest
Police beat up Rodney King until his face was a mess
Defend yourself by any means and Malcolm say yes
I dare a man to ever curse a who JAH JAH bless
The mind is a terrible thing to waste
Dem just a mud up, mud up
Blood up blood up etc
Up ye mighty race
and wipe the dirt from your face
Never ever fall from grace
The mind is a terrible thing to waste (repeat)
In dis ya struggle
OUR role models
Steel Pulse è una delle più grandi band di reggae britanniche, in termini di successo creativo e commerciale. Originari di Handsworth, Birmingham, gli Steel Pulse hanno iniziato a suonare negli anni '70, contaminando le radici autentiche del reggae con influenze jazz e latine. Questo approccio originale ha conquistato un pubblico internazionale, portandoli a pubblicare il loro album di debutto, "Handsworth Revolution", nel 1978. Considerato da molti critici come uno dei punti di riferimento del reggae inglese, l'album ha segnato l'inizio di una carriera ricca di successi. Prima della fine degli anni '80, gli Steel Pulse hanno vinto un Grammy Award, consolidando il loro ruolo di esponenti di spicco del crossover reggae. Negli anni successivi, la band è tornata a esplorare le sonorità roots, integrando elementi dancehall e hip-hop. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Ku Klux Klan", "Sound System", "Steppin' Out" e "Jah Jah City".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
